	'''Register Globals''' (default - off) - Register Globals changes the way that PHP deals with POST and GET variables. Some older scripts require this to be turned on. Otherwise, this should always be left off. Turning on this setting can cause some pretty large security holes, so if your script requires you to turn this on, consider using a different script, or bug the author/vendor of the script to change their programming to no longer rely on this setting. Note that future versions of PHP do not even support this option, so when we upgrade any scripts that depend on this setting will no longer work.

	'''Display Errors''' (default - on) - This setting controls whether PHP errors should be shown. Having this setting turned on is very useful when installing and setting up PHP programs, or when doing PHP development. However, leaving it on in the long run may be a bad idea - certain error messages can give away some information about the workings of your site that you don't want random people knowing.

	'''Allow URL Fopen''' (default - off) - This allows your PHP scripts to open files that are hosted elsewhere. By default, PHP will only let you access files located on the same server as your main script.

	'''Magic Quote GPC''' (default - on) - This changes the way PHP handles the contents of GET, POST, and COOKIE variables. In most cases, the default is fine, but some scripts require this to be turned off.
